Jutta Koether's Tour de Madame at Kunst Museum Winterthur

Jutta Koether, a Cologne-born artist in 1958 who now resides in New York and Berlin, is showcasing her work at Kunst Museum Winterthur, focusing on early French modernism. Her artistic practice is seen as a substantial effort to counter the established narratives of modern painting, as highlighted in the recent Tour de Madame exhibition at the Museum Brandhorst in Munich. Since the 1980s, Koether has played a pivotal role in shaping cultural discourse as a painter, performance artist, musician, editor, and publisher. She co-founded SPEX magazine and has contributed extensively to publications like Texte zur Kunst. Emerging from the Neoexpressionist scene in Cologne, her work critiques the predominantly male landscape of movements such as Neue Wilde and Transavanguardia.
